    I’ve read about this and it’s pretty bad. It you think COVID was bad, it was a walk in the park in comparison.

      There’s generally an inverse relationship between contagiousness and deadlines. By the time it mutates enough to spread between people, it’s unlikely it’ll be much worse than COVID.

        The thing is, in this case you can get infected from ingesting cow milk from a cow that was infected. Once it gets into our food supply it can cause something like a flu bomb that’s going to kill a lot of people at once.

        Vegans might have a better chance of surviving in this case.

          There is this little thing called pasteurization.

            There is that little thing called don’t torture cows to get their titty juice. But pasteurization is a good loophole too

              Those cows consented to work in capitalism as much as I did. At least they have job security.

          We just test the cows so we’ll spot it quickly and hopefully it won’t spread.

          The threat is a pathogen that either we don’t even know is spreading, or we don’t know how it is spreading. A mutated H5N1 for example.

            But if we test, then maybe we’d have to not produce milk from positive cows for a short amount of time. Then someone might find it a little bit difficult to get milk for their morning cereal, and that would be a minor inconvenience.
